Over the weekend of July 4th J and I took off for an impromptu road trip. We took off from our place west of Atlanta and went north through 575 through Jasper and Ellijay up to the Nantahala Gorge, through Cherokee North Carolina and then over Clingman's Dome to Gatlinburg. We stayed the night in a little hotel in Pigeon Forge and went to dinner at Bubba Gump's in Gatlinburg on the evening of the 4th. We also went into Paula Deen's store, which was full of things I laughed and giggled at and could easily find a place for in my home, but really.. who needs butter salt-and-pepper shakers or like 3000 aprons, right? RIGHT? Okay.. moving on. I don't have any awesome stories to tell, or anything wild to recant, but I can say it was a lovely weekend full of relaxation and quality time with my husband and I got to experience some new scenery. I'm looking forward to going back this fall for some beautiful foliage and to see some different things.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I toted my camera along and got some awesome shots of the Smoky Mountains and the intense fog along the trip to Clingman's Dome. Enjoy!!
